Who Should I Start? Wil Lutz or Matthew Wright

Friday, November 21, 6:24 PM

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has agreed to a three-year extension with the organization on Friday. This news comes after Lutz earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Lutz went 5-for-5 on field goal attempts, including a game-winner against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. This new deal will keep Lutz in Denver through 2028. Through 11 games, Lutz has made 17-of-20 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 24 of his extra point kicks. A well-deserved extension for Lutz who has been a viable option for the Broncos over the last three seasons.

NFL reporter for the Houston Texans, Aaron Wilson, reported on Friday that the Texans will turn to Matthew Wright as their kicker in Week 10 as Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) is injured and not able to go against their division opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wright has kicked for multiple NFL teams and was last with the Washington Commanders. He has made 56 of 65 career kicks and 43 of 45 extra points. He has also kicked for the Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Jaguars, Wilson reports. This is a big matchup for the Texans, as a loss will send them further to the bottom of the AFC South standings. The Texans sit at (3-5), while the Jaguars are at (5-3), and both are looking up at the division leaders, the Indianapolis Colts, at (7-2). A win here for the Texans could continue to give them hope down the stretch and help them make a run with a big division win. The Jaguars have allowed the second-fewest points to opposing kickers, making Wright a challenging play in Week 10.
